A better date with a pumpkin would involve making a delicious dessert out of it, not wearing it.
Here's one from The Lily Wallace Cookbook (1947) that isn't the usual pie:
PUMPKIN ICE CREAM
4 cups light cream
2 beaten eggs
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups mashed or canned pumpkin
Put cream in saucepan. Cover and bring to boiling point. Reduce heat. Add eggs, sugar, and seasonings. Cook, stirring constantly, until a coating forms on spoon. Stir in pumpkin. Heat thoroughly. Chill and freeze. Yield: 1 quart.
Don't forget to brush your teeth with Chlorodent after you eat your ice cream. And have a great Halloween!

Now that's just plain funny. Enjoy for day.
Morning Mouth?
Well they must have had 'The Walk of Shame' in those days too because I swear I can see a black dress and pearl necklace under that enormous pumpkin, otherwise who'd be going out on a date in the morning?
What they really mean is 'Morning of Regret After the Now Forgettable Events of the Drunken Night Before' breath surely?
Wicked cool ad! And seasonal, too!
